I want to add hardware while hibernating
This is a discussion about I want to add hardware while hibernating in the Everything New Technology category; So my WIFI internet went down the other day, so I had to install a modem as a backup for access. But I did NOT want to shutdown. I had million webpages open and other projects open etc. So I figured, Ill hibernate the PC and install the modem and see what happens.

Well, it didn't work. Upon resuming the screen just goes black and I needed to boot fresh. (I did not thinik it would work, but I figured MAYBE it would)
Is there a proper way to do it, knd of like hotplugging a pci device, except it isnt really hot because its not turned on.

Did you try using Search for Plug and Play devices in device manager?
The hardware itself needs to support Hot Plug n Play not just the software. So if the motherboard and modem dont support it, I dont see how that will function "correctly." I believe the environment that you are creating isnt a stable one for that session.
